Throwing out a few links that I gathered during the "elicitation" phase. But I think I will go with mounting "L" aluminum angles or unistruts directly to the roof. 1) Ford Econoline Conversion Van 3 bar 1992-2014 Ladder Roof Racks Steel White Rack These will fit over the high top, but a little...

I think I know what you mean... :D  I would take these rain gutter mounts for roof racks and then customize them to hold the awning, by cutting them and adding holes and bolts (I don't have a welder and I don't know how to weld). [/URL] Found them on amazon. There might be less expensive gutter...

I had a bad hail storm a week ago here in SC. Luckily, the van survived. [/URL] Speaking of hail. Is there a way to have comprehensive coverage on solar panels? I don't think GEICO would pay for them, although to me they would be part of the vehicle... Do you guys have have separate insurance...

Just in case anyone was wondering. I do not have wood in my fiberglass top, but metal strips. This... ...looks actually like this after cutting. You may be able to see the metal: It is a fiberglass top made by Tri-Glas in 2001. A company that no longer exists.

Reached a milestone today; at least for me. In my 42 years, I have never cut a hole in a vehicle. Until today, because today is roof vent day. Quickly tested the fantastic fan by hooking it directly to the battery, i.e. holding the positive and negative cable to the starter battery. Worked...

Welcome! The best way to change something, is to begin.

Hilarious and sad at the same time!

Welcome! The stage you're in right now, I personally really liked that stage a lot. Enjoy!

Welcome! I hear ya... and hey, you can have a cocktail party around your home on wheels ;)

Gorgeous van, congrats! And what a steal!!!

I have read that the Olympian Wave 3 heaters add less moisture to the living area than a Buddy Heater. [/URL] It also seems they are a little less bulky, and not sure if strong enough for your trailer. They're definitely more expensive; $250 and up on amazon. A CO-detector is a "must"...

Congrats! Boy, this looks pretty roomy in the inside, incredible!

The mail woman brought me some wind deflectors today. She is so nice! Installation was easy and quick... and more fun than sound-deadening/insulating the floor. I was done within 5 mins. If I could go back, I would buy deflectors that come down a little more, so I could open the windows even...

I have literally just installed wind deflectors/rain guards on my van. Was the first time... and  it was actually very easy and I was done within 5 mins. Step 1: Clean and scratch up the inside of the window channel. My set came with this cleaning pad: [/URL] Step 2: Clean the scratched up...

Well, galladanb, if it makes you feel better. I bought a new carpet for the cab area. I put the old nasty stinky carpet over the new carpet and used it as a template to cut the new carpet. Because the old one was stinky, I put it on the back-side of the new carpet... So, guess what...

Congrats!!! Man, can't wait to be where you guys are. It's like looking at the graduates in high-school and sighing "gosh, when will I graduate?"

Man, and I thought this only happens to me... lol

Happy birthday and welcome!

For better temperature control I would cover/insulate the windows, and put some vents in the roof and the floor.

Welcome! Nice nickname!
